Dean & Deluca

About Dean & Deluca

Almost 40 years ago, two young New Yorkers, Joel Dean and Giorgio DeLuca, opened their gourmet food emporium in SoHo, an up-and-coming artists’ neighborhood in Manhattan. Offering customers a sumptuous celebration of food a place to experience all the pleasures of cooking and eating, the original store suggested a turn-of-the-century food department, with high ceiling fans spinning over a vast array of handcrafted products and artisan foods lining high, white walls.

Today, Dean & Deluca is an international purveyor of gourmet and quality specialty foods operating in the United States, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Turkey and the Middle East.
